The frames still worked well, but the colour made the house look dated. The advice was clear and the new finish made the front look much smarter.

Window Frame Painting Oxford
If your windows still work well but the colour looks tired, window frame painting can be a sensible middle ground.
We paint suitable uPVC, timber, aluminium and composite frames in Oxford. It is a way to freshen up the outside of the home without jumping straight to replacement windows.
Send a few photos and we can tell you what looks possible, what may need extra care, and which colours might suit the house.
Timber Window Frame Painting
Timber frames can look lovely when they are looked after. Once the paint starts to crack, peel or dull, the whole house can feel less cared for.
If the wood is still sound, careful preparation and repainting can bring the frames back to life.
Aluminium Window Frame Spraying
Aluminium frames can last for years, but the colour can start to date the property.
If the frames are sound, spraying can give them a cleaner finish that works better with the building.
Customer Reviews
A few kind words from customers who wanted their frames refreshed instead of replaced.
The timber frames were looking tired, but we wanted to keep them. They were carefully prepared and the finished paintwork looks clean and tidy.

We nearly chose anthracite grey, but went for a softer colour after talking it through. It suits the brickwork much better.

Colour advice and frame painting
uPVC Window Frame Painting and Colour Changes
Bright white uPVC can look too stark on some homes. A colour change can soften the look or make the windows feel more modern.
Popular choices include anthracite grey, black, soft grey, cream and heritage-style greens, but the best colour depends on the house.
Composite Window Frame Painting
Some composite frames can be painted, depending on the surface and condition.
This can be useful when the windows no longer match the front door, garage door, roofline or fresh exterior paintwork.
When Replacement Feels Over the Top
Not every tired window needs replacing. If the frames still work properly, painting can be a simple way to improve the outside of the home.
Send us photos and we will give honest advice on suitability, colour and access.
